I am fairly new to Bonsai. I have created an Overal Outline that has many items - some simple, tasks and to dos. Can someone help me figure out how to set-up my Incomplete filter so that simple items still show? As it is, when I run the filter I cannot see any simple items. Here are the selections for my Incomplete filter:
- Status: Incomplete
- Type: All Types
- Priority: All Priorities
- Link: Link Filter (off)
- Text: Blank

- Start: No Start Date (i don't generally use start dates)
- Due Date: All Dates
- Completed Date: No Completed Date

Thanks, in advance, for your help.

Menu: Options->Global Settings

Display tab: Show Simple when Status Filter

Thanks for the response. I tried that, but I still cannot see simple items. Are simple items not visible because they cannot have completion dates and one of the filter criterium is Status: Incomplete? Thanks for you help.

No, so I'm not sure what you are seeing.

For example, create a new outline.
Add the following items:

- Simple Parent
....[x] Checked Child
....[ ] Unchecked Child
....- Simple Child

Create a filter as you described (the ONLY setting you have is "Status: Incomple"

Use that filter. Result is:

- Simple Parent
....[ ] Unchecked Child
....- Simple Child

If you change the global setting to no show simple items on status filter, you would get

- Simple Parent
....[ ] Unchecked Child


Is it possible you have other criteria set in your filter? Try creating a new filter and only set the status option.
